I dont think you would ever get that price lol. I paid $1350 for my 89 model and $600 for my 90 model both roadworthy but you never know do you? You can only try.

Yes they are a great bike regardless of what the superbike and squid riders say.
I am happy with mine and cannot see myself selling them anytime soon. :thumb:
Although if someone offered me the right price you never know...........

Fonz,

If you have the funds, time and expertise you can whack on whatever size swingarm you want - but - keep in mind the chain needs to marry up with the front sprocket.

I think you'll find a 150 tire will still just fit and will be fine with the front sprocket, anything larger will be trouble.

well i basically bought this bike to be a "project" that sat unregisterd in my garage untill it was all finished then register it and ride it. but got to eager and got it registered straight away haha as to my fiance's disgust, thankfully she loves bikes! hahaha wish she was so passonate about my project and race cars like she is with my bike :(

so your saying a 150 will fit on the stock rim? or a bandit/katana one?

also thinkning about making a custom manifold for my un used ct12 turbo :P

It into a wild gs

Have started to mock up a manifold I'll get pics up soon

da_fonz

hey fellas!
got stuck into my bike this afternoon cutting and grinding bits of it and this is the end result.
gonna get one of my mates to come weld some supports in my subframe and a bar to attach my tail light to as zip ties wont cut it!!!

Enjoy  :D

hey JollyRojer,

i got the brake light and turn signals from ebay for a otal of around $35.00 AUD :D
but with the turn signals, they wont flash unless i have my old globes installed inline with the new ones??? anyone know why?

fonz

There is a thread about it here. You need to install some diodes and a led flasher. Do a search for lrd diode or something like that
